EDTA prez talks to the Senate about electric cars next week

Part of the Electric Drive Transportation Association's (EDTA) reason for being is to convince lawmakers to support electric-drive vehicles. That's what those May radio spots were about and that's what EDTA president Brian Wynne will be doing next week when he testifies before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on "the current state of vehicles powered by the grid and the prospects for wider deployment in the near future." If you're interested in how the EDTA views plug-in, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vehicles in the currenty energy policy debate, you can listen on on the Committee's website starting at 10 a.m. EST on Tuesday, September 16th (we have our own plans for that particular moment) and check the EDTA's website for prepared testimony sometime before the hearing begins.
